HE WAS GREATLY MISTAKEN.

live In the midst Of the malarIal districts OF MARY
land near the city Of Washington, and am exposoo
to all tho dangerous influences Of tho impure air AND
water Of that region.
Being naturally OF q strong constitution, had
frequently boosted that no ch1s and fever or othes
malartous complaint would trouble me. But
had rcckoned without my host, and finally discovered
that no one could count upon being exempted from
an attack. Maarial germs arc SO aDunoahe ID en0

system that the strongest persons are eveheuay no
protected from an attack than are the weahos@
This was my experience and the condltion I'D
which found myself six months ago. first notlced

my wont to do felt tired and enervated Soon

severity il tho exercise was more than usually
violent Then q srctchy feeling with profuse gapinH
made its appearance. Then my head always clear
as q bell, would feel heavy. and began to have
headaches Exposure to the SUMS rays intensified
these troubles untn by constant contact with the
maaral poison genuine attack OF chllls ana rover
seized me. The cold stage marked with chatter
ing of the teeth, severe rgors passed over me, ano
no amount OF clothing could keep mo warm The
chill was succeeded in turn by the fever in which
/ seemed TO be burning up, the congestion In my
head produced violent pain In the frontal portion
and a heated sensation Of the eyeljds. with an
ndescribable aching Of the lower limbs. Nausea ano
vomiting occurred with severe rctchings, ana whep
the parOxysms passed off was thoroughly PROS
trated by a weakness that was felt In every part
of me- This was followed by condition OF nor
vous prostration that rendered me unfit to attend
to any of the simplest and highest duties OF my
profession
I drlgged myself with auinine, and obtained some
relief But my respite was OF brief duration. / was
now so much reduced that could hardly walk OF
stand upright. My disease eliminated In o
continued malaria1 fever which kept closely con-
fined for ont week. l became exceedingly de-
pressed ard melancholy. so much SO that LOST
interest in my work, and. indeed. scarcely cared
what happened to me.
During all this time 1t must be understood that
did not neglect medical treatment All the most
powerful remedies were tried such liquid arsenate
Of potash, valerlante Of iron mercury, bromide OF
potassium chloride Of bismuth, chinodine, chincho'
ndla qunine and several others. All this dld
under the advice of eminent physicians. This medca
ton served only to intensity the poison OF tho
disease and aggrsvate its symptoms.
It was while was In this deplorablc condition that
the claims made BY Kasklne tho new quinine. as 8
specific for malaria first brought to my attention
knew nothing OF It's value to Justify my having
any confidence In t, but as everything else had
failed deemed It my duty 10 try It. so began its
use, and its prompt and radical effects were OF the
nature OF revelation to me. Many people may
think the statement scarcely credible. but 1t Is
fact that after only few days Of Kaskine all
tho leading symptoms In my case were decidedly
abated ceased altogether; and In few weeks from
tho time took The first dose was cured.
This about the first Of January, and since then
have experienced recurrence Of the malarial
symptoms In any form. remedy Of such excep-
tona virtue for fhc Of malaria ought TO be com
mcnded and universally made known l have
therefore urged II upon tho attention Of my friends
several OF whom have used 1t with like good results
every and 1t Is with the greatest pleasure and
sincerity that / commend Kaskine TO sufferers from
malaria everywhere. Respectfully yours.
